A legal expert has described the attempt by two MPs to enter the Parliament building after a court ruling ordered Parliament’s dissolution as “a grave mistake and an insult to the state and law.”
Ahmed Kamal Abul Magd said Tuesday there are other ways to express one’s rejection of the Supreme Constitutional Court ruling.
The head of the People’s Assembly Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee, Mahmoud al-Khodeiry, and his deputy on Monday attempted to enter the Parliament building but were stopped by security.
Abul Magd said protesting against what one views as oppressive is a constitutional right, but that it is wrong to express such rejection in an illegal way.
There is an opportunity for people to express their views in a peaceful, civilized way, he said, adding that he is sad about what happened in front of the People’s Assembly.
The Supreme Constitutional Court last week ordered the dissolution of Parliament, saying the Parliamentary Elections Law was unconstitutional.
